AdvantEdge Success Stories: Hitachi Tool
Hitachi Tool Engineering is a Japanese tool manufacturer focusing on leading-edge materials research and high-level technologies.
Using AdvantEdge FEM, Hitachi engineers were able to identify the best tool geometries, while reducing the need for testing.
Hitachi Cutting Tools
- Challenge: Determine optimum tool design for minimized machining costs, while avoiding excess trial-and-error iterations
- Approach: Perform various company-standard analyses to examine temperature, chip behavior, cutting forces, heat transfer, and body strength
- Software: AdvantEdge FEM
- Results: Optimum insert tool geometry identified; trial-and-error testing iterations reduced, eliminating 1–2 months per test; 68% machining cost savings
